@piersmorgan Why psychopath? Why not terrorist?

[B'Tselem בצלם بتسيلم @btselem]

Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.

It sounds inconceivable. But it’s the truth.

Israel is taking deliberate, coordinated action to destroy the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

Explicit statements by Israeli officials, combined with a consistent policy of destructive attacks and other practices of annihilation, prove beyond a doubt that Israel’s target is the entire population of Gaza.

Entire cities razed to the ground; medical, educational, religious and cultural infrastructure systematically destroyed; 2 million Palestinians forcibly displaced with the aim of expelling them from Gaza; and, of course, mass starvation and killing - all this amounts to an explicit attempt to destroy the population of Gaza and impose living conditions so catastrophic that Palestinian society cannot continue to exist there.

That is the exact definition of genocide.

The report we are releasing today is a warning: The ideology driving the Israeli regime is not confined to Gaza.

The same regime, the same army, the same leaders and the same commanders are implementing extremely violent practices against Palestinians in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and within Israel. We are already witnessing the spillover of practices Israel is using in Gaza to other areas - on a different scale, but guided by the same logic. In the West Bank, this is taking the form of airstrikes, demolition of refugee camps, mass evictions, and the deliberate destruction of Palestinian economy and society.

No Palestinian who lives under the genocidal Israeli regime is safe.

There is no justification for genocide – not “self-defense”, not “security”, and not the heinous acts committed by Hamas on October 7, 2023, which triggered profound existential fear among Israelis.

The international community has not only failed in its duty to stop the atrocities, but the leaders of the Western world, particularly the United States and Europe, also share responsibility by providing support that enables Israel’s acts of destruction. It is the duty of the international community to stop the genocide Israel is carrying out in Gaza.

On social media, we are seeing footage of people buried under bombed-out buildings, displaced persons’ camps on fire, children starving, people desperate for water, and hospitals left unable to treat the injured and the sick.

As a human rights organization it is our duty and responsibility to say the truth: Genocide is happening, right here and right now.

This is our genocide, and we need to stop it.

@caitoz Can people add community note to the department of state post?

@StateDept Can someone add a community note to this?

[Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @RepAOC]

There is no world in which the forced famine of 1.1 million people cannot be considered genocide. And that is exactly what we are watching unfold in Gaza now.

We must enforce U.S. laws and halt weapons transfers to the Israeli government to stop an atrocity in the making.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Palestinians risked life & limb to reach Rafah, the last designated safe zone in Gaza.

Now they are being told to leave. Where are they supposed to go?

This is not an “evacuation.” This is ethnic cleansing — and our government is complicit by letting Israel act with impunity.

[Tiberius @tiberiusfiles]

‘Israel is a system of Jewish supremacy that oppresses Palestinians and denies them their freedom and dignity, and that is just not compatible with Jewish values.’

Since October 7th, 27,478 Palestinians have been killed. 70% are women and children. 136 hostages remain unrescued. Most Gazans can’t access a hospital.

That’s not war. It’s slaughter. Americans cannot afford another $17 billion on unconditional violence that risks regional war.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

For the sake of the Palestinian people and our own standing in the world we must not provide another dollar for the Netanyahu war machine.

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

Sky News resident 'military analyst' says the IDF dressing up as medics & going into a hospital to kill Palestinians was an assassination & it strengthens the sense that the Israelis are behaving as terrorists.

@MyriamFrancoisC responds to UK and US airstrikes on Houthi targets in Yemen and calls for a 'ceasefire' in Gaza.

Does anyone in this hellsite really want to defend stuff like this?
Any members of Congress?
Any of the pundits who regularly tell us the IDF is the ‘most moral army in the world’?

[Omer Shahid @omersh81]

@mehdirhasan @smh @ABCaustralia @antoinette_news Do you know if something similar happened at MSNBC?

[Sam Altman @sama]

muslim and arab (especially palestinian) colleagues in the tech community i've spoken with feel uncomfortable speaking about their recent experiences, often out of fear of retaliation and damaged career prospects.

our industry should be united in our support of these colleagues; it is an atrocious time. i continue to hope for a real and lasting peace, and that in the meantime we can treat each other with empathy.
